I <3 Me a Good Thrift Store

Here's what I got today during my monthly voyage to 1/2 price day at the thrift store:

*4 pairs of pants for hubs (1 is Levi's and 1 is Polo Jeans... brand new w/ tags)Mind you, hubs wears Big and Tall, so all 4 pairs together were less than one store bought pair.
*1 pair of Old Navy jeans for me... too bad they didn't fit when I got them home :(
*2 shirts for Mikey
*1 pair of tennis shoes for Mikey (good condition)
*1 pair Ambercrombie lounge pants for me
*2 sports bras (Nike)
*1 Victoria Secret bra still w/ tag attached
*1 Corduroy jacket for fall from St. John's Bay
*1 cheap bag of junk as bribary

Grand Total < $35

Rivetting I know...I just love finding good deals! I could really care less about the brands, but take it from someone who has never bought name brand tennis shoes, and typically shops thrift and Wally World... it's a thrill to find high quality for low prices :)

There is nothing like seeing a little underweared tush running across the room! I've notice that at times it can make me choke up a bit b/c my lil boy is growing up, and I've caught myself telling hubby more than once, "look at how cute it is", while a spiderman toosh is up in the air.

Mikey doesn't have many accidents (I think the total is 2 in the past month!!!) but we seem to leave spare pairs EVERYWHERE... granny's, mammaw's, baby sitter, Aunt M's, church..... and find ourselves often running low at home. So last night I went to our mega thrift store and bought 12 pairs for $4!! I'm talking almost brand new here...of course I check for stains and such *eewww*

Of course if I had waited until today, they would have been 1/2 off(last Wed of every month everything is half off), but I knew by the time I'd get home from work today, the goods would have been gone... that's just my luck. But you better believe I'm going there before coming home tonight!!

Oh Be Careful Little Eyes What You See...

I about lost it in church this morning when we sang this song for youth day.

Yesterday at the yardsale, we were wrapping up w/ a few of the last customers when one lady came up to me and asked if the adorable little boy running around was mine. Well, apparently he had walked up to her and patted her on the heiney. She turned around to ask him if 'he liked her heiney' (just in good natured fun) and he proudly replied 'yep!!'.

Hubs doesn't go around doing PDA's very often at all, but evidently Mikey caught him one time!!
